A crem member of the "Sheila Ann" was medecaced 10 nautical miles off the coast of Point Conception, California, on Aug 28, 2017. A crewmember aboard the vessel sustained a severe injury to his hand and required urgent medical assistance. At approximately 5:50 p.m., the crew aboard the bulk carrier notified Coast Guard Sector Los Angeles-Long Beach of a male Ukrainian crewmember who sustained a severe injury to his hand and requested a medevac. After consulting with the flight surgeon, an MH-65 Dolphin helicopter crew from Forward Operating Base Mugu was dispatched. Once on scene, the Dolphin crew hoisted the male into the helicopter and transported him to Santa Barbara Municipal Airport where emergency medical services took the man to Santa Barbara Cottage Hospital for further medical care. He was last reported to be in stable condition. Report with photos: https://www.edhat.com/news/coast-guard-medically-evacuates-man-off-lompoc-coast
